If you connect that with a Set and Forget humidity system from Aristocrat or the Avallo system, would that work? Just curious.

Jump on the offer!

I'd do some quick homework on it like others have suggested. You want to make sure the materials are good (Spanish Cedar) and the seal is good. Also, make sure it's mold free. Sometimes that can grow in the wood. If that all checks out then, the price of $275 is pretty good. One other thing to...

Congrats Thumper! :bl

Yep, it ain't a special occasion smoke unless you've tried it before. Too risky.

Wow, rave reviews all around. Will need to pick one up to try out now.

:dr Unfortunately, those don't age well I hear so please send some my way :D

Check out the Victor Sinclair Vintage Select Torpedo. Quite chocolatey and a value also. Padron Maduro is also a good one to try, say 2000 or 3000 series.

Have really been wondering about this after the CA Top 25 placing. Thanks for the thoughts!

That needs some filling up!

Great review. The pics were very helpful. Haven't seen any of these around. Guess they must be a rare find.

Definitely would say there is more than meets the eye here. It's not just a simple, "I'm going to improve quality so hence the Pepin split". Most likely it's a $s issue. Perhaps Padilla wasn't happy with the price he was being charged for the rolling, blending etc.. Anyhow I believe Padilla can...

Wow, that is quite a plug for the Avo 22. Intrigued by these now.

Great to see 2 FOGs debate this cigar. I have to say :tpd: The Padron 1964s are amazing from a construction standpoint and consistency. They always draw great, burn well, leaving a long ash and taste the same stick to stick. However, the taste is pretty much 1 dimensional throughout the entire...

Nice! The slope for you starts now! Time to get a few more humidors ready.

Interesting article. Certainly wonder what will happen to Padillas now. Happy I stocked up beforehand. Seems like the existing smokes of the Padilla line ought to stay unchanged since they've been blended already. Wonder how they will be able to find folks to do the triple caps. Is that...

Good article. Thanks for posting! Doubt the embargo will be lifted anytime soon though.

Have been curious about the Vs. If I like Padron, VSGs, would I like Vs?

These are pretty good smokes. However, wrapper can be a bit thin once in a while. So far some are hit some are miss. Keep trying. I haven't given up on these yet.

I feel you may be asking two things: 1) how long should I let the smokes rest after I get them? Generally 2-4 weeks is a good rule of thumb. Many retailers store their smokes at a higher RH% and this can make for a bad burn, uneven etc. In the case that they were stored below optimum RH% then...
